Can you decifer these phrases?

My teacher gave us this sheet of common phrases at the end of writting class today (my first college class finished  big_smile ). They're common phrases that are put into super complicated wording and I want to see if you guys can solve them. I could only figure out about half of them.


Example - Everything that coruscates with effulgence is not ipso facto aurous. = All that glitters is not gold.

Example - You cannot estimate the value of the contents of a bound printed narrative from its exteriour vesture. = You can't judge a book by it's cover.

I'll post them a few at a time because I'm sure alot of you won't be able to solve them lol. And I'm not going to hide the answers in invisible text so don't try to cheat  tongue

A feathered creature clasped in the manual members is equal in value to a brace in the bosky growth. I saw that coming, noob


It has come to our attention that herbage, when observed in that section of enclosed ground being the property of an individual other than oneself, is ever of a more verdant hue. I saw that coming, noob



A mass of concreted earthy material perennially rotating on its axis well not accumulate an accretion of byrphutic vegetation. I saw that coming, noob

One should hyperesthectically exercise macrography up that situs which one will eventually tenant if one propels oneself into the trophosphere.

A superabudance of talent skilled in the preparation of gastrnomic concoctions will impair the quality of a certain potable solution made by immersing a gallinaceous bird in Adam's ale.

That prudent avis which matutinally deserts the cozinesso f its abode will ensnare a vermiculate creature.

The grass is greener on the other side

Anyway, the grass is always greener on the other side.
